Updating the brew formula to 0.97-rc2, I get the following build error:

--------

It would appear that OSX has ptsname but not ptsname_r:

Brians-MacBook-Air:~ $ man -k ptsname
grantpt(3), posix_openpt(3), ptsname(3), unlockpt(3) - pseudo-terminal access functions

Note: the brew formula builds libvirt with the following ./configure
arguments

    args = ["--prefix=#{prefix}",
            "--localstatedir=#{var}",
            "--mandir=#{man}",
            "--sysconfdir=#{etc}",

            "--with-vmware",
            "--with-yajl",
            "--without-qemu"]
